Craig's footage has been embraced by UFO believers across the world. One website dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence said Craig's film was "very good evidence" that alien lifeforms have visited Lancashire.

Tim Dust, from Denver, Colorado, runs popular YouTube channel UFO MAN. He said he 'jumped at the chance' to share Craig's footage with his 31,000 followers.

Tim said: "In regards to these lights, they are legitimate unknowns. I have years of experience analysing footage of unidentified phenomena in our skies and I can say for sure these are not Chinese lanterns.

"I know this because of their continual horizontal flight path. Lanterns will rise with the air currents and flicker out. These lights are steady.

"They most likely are not drones either, because they made no sound and did not have navigation strobes.

"There were a number of other witnesses to this sighting, besides the videographer, as can be seen in the clip, so I can definitively rule it out as a hoax.

"In my opinion, this is very good evidence to support UFO activity as ongoing over the U.K."

Skeptics of flying saucers have suggested that the mysterious lights could be satellites or other unidentified aerial phenomena.

But Craig insists that what he recorded that night is the proof he has been seeking for years - proof that we are not alone.

He said: "I've been into UFOs all my life and I've seen a lot of strange things in the sky around Lancashire. So getting this video kind of meant a lot to me.

"I must admit I've seen a lot of strange lights over the years but not like this. This is on a different scale. If anyone needs proof of the existence of aliens, here it is."
